Once you build up physical and mental stamina you don’t have to be afraid of anything. Nothing can influence you, including your influenza.... Gain self-mastery over your own mind and body. Take some Hatha Yoga practices to eliminate all the toxins that you had put in. Do a lot of breathing practice. Practicing pranayama, you can put more vitality into your system. You can literally charge your batteries. MORE

Perhaps the real question is not “How can I help?” but, “How can I serve?” Serving is different from helping. Helping is based on inequality; it is not a relationship between equals. When you help you use your own strength to help those of lesser strength.... People feel this inequality. When we help we may inadvertently take away from people more than we could ever give them; we may diminish their self-esteem, their sense of worth, integrity and wholeness. MORE
